J. T. Ellison is a New York Times bestselling American author of several thriller and crime novels. She was born in Florida outside Orlando. She moved with her parents to Colorado at the age of two and was raised there until she was fourteen. She grew up reading books from her parents’ shelves as she began to grew her interest in poetry, romance and science fiction. She was greatly influenced by the authors John Grisham, Patrica Cornwell and James Patterson. At the age of fourteen, she had to move with her parents to Washington, D.C.where she went to Langley High School, Virginia. She then went to Randolph-Macon Woman’s College from where she finished her graduation with a double major in English Creative Writing and Politics and a minor in Economics. Ellison was planning to go for a Master’s in Fine Arts, but her thesis advisor wouldn’t give her a recommendation, declaring that she wasn’t good enough to be a writer to ever get published.

After her graduation Ellison quit writing and went on for politics. However, it’s because of her writing skills that she got into the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management. After achieving her Master’s degree, Ellison worked in the Executive Office of the President in the White House, and in the Office of Science and Technology Policy. She also worked in the Department of Commerce before she moved to the private sector to work as a marketing director and a financial analyst for several aerospace and defense contractors.

She started researching her hidden passions on forensics and crime, and she was compelled to start writing down her stories. In research for her books, she worked with the Nashville Police department and also with the FBI, studying survivalists and performing autopsies as well.

Ellision teamed up with New York Times best selling author, Catherine Coulter in 2012 to cooperatively write a new FBI series. Her first book, The Final Cut, was released in September 2013 which turned out to be a bestseller. The Series further continues with The Lost Key and The End Game, which are going to be released in September 2015.
